We get an HOUR. Which may be what we get all next season. I wonder if they double everyone's salaries if that happens.
I read that NBC announced there would be 24 episodes next season, with four of those being an hour long. I might have read this early today. My brain is still pretty much all PAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a side of: Sunil, you have e-mail.
didn't it say there would be deleted scenes from last night's ep on the official site? they're slow!
Maybe they should try out Pam in a sales position next season. She could scarcely do worse than what they've got.
Theo, Scott and I re-watched last night, and I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see Pam move up in the company. Plus, it would add an interesting dynamic to the ongoing Jim-Pam saga if they were, professionally, on a more even footing.
I know I'm late to the party, but OMG Pam Beesly!!! Is awesome. That was a beautiful scene. Cannot wait until next week.
Pam just rocked in this episode, rocked so much. From wearing her hair differently to being super-snarky to WALKING THROUGH FIRE and then finally, FINALLY speaking her mind--this is pretty much the episode I have waited all season for.
Me, this is. I cried mid Pam's speech. Roughly, when she got to the art show bit, and looked at Jim. Brilliantly constructed moment of TV as it's literally taken all season as a build up.
I know when a TV show rocks when it makes me cry, because that's rare, and it's especially good when there's no soppy music and you just know that's not the intention. I felt every bit of what Pam was saying. Seriously: this show is The Awesome.
I must have no heart. During Pam's speech I was 15% 'I'm glad Pam is making these thing known', 60% 'Pam, in saying these things in front of her co-workers, is being awfully inconsiderate to Jim and Karen' and 25% 'I wish the writing here was a little less direct'. Which isn't to say I thought it was badly-written, it wasn't, but that is wasn't as textured as I would've hoped such an important dramatic moment would be.
